The Social Mission
#SPARKANDBARK
Create a SPARK and BARK about it!
Find Forever Homes
Our aim is to volunteer and walk shelter animals to increase awareness that these wonderful pets are up for adoption and ready for a loving family.
Reduce Euthanasia
When animal shelters become overpopulated, the heartbreaking cases of euthanasia increase. We want to help solve this by volunteering our time, and encouraging yours.
Volunteer With Us!
By volunteering at animal shelters, you make new friends (both furry and human). Plus, walking is great for your health and you might just save a life!
How to Get Involved
Create a Spark
Volunteer at your local animal shelter. Walk a few dogs, care for a few cats, or just hang out and give them the human interaction they crave!
Selfie Time
Take some pictures! It could be a fun selfie shot or a beautiful portrait of the pet. Try your best to make their unique personality shine!
Bark About It!
Share your experience on your favorite social media platforms! Use the hashtags #adoptme, #sparkandbark, and #sparkysteps. Be sure to tag us at @sparkysteps so we can share your post!
Join Our Community Meetup
Occasionally we meet in-person to walk shelter dogs together! Exercise, make new friends, and perhaps help to find a shelter animal a forever home.
If you would like to find out about the next meet up with us, email us at info@sparkysteps.com.
